Chapter 735

A hundred miles south of the capital.

At the extension of the official road, a small town blocked the way.

This is Tongtian Town, except for those monks who do not take the usual path, whether it is princes, generals, ordinary people, or the messengers of the Tiansi, the only way to enter and leave the capital.

There is Jiantiansi post station in the town. This post station was originally the place where Jiantiansi sent people from all over Kyushu to Beijing to test their merits.

But now that the world is not peaceful, the Superintendent's examination of merit has long since stopped.

As a result, the station became deserted.

But today is an exception.

Postmaster Zhao Lao Si has just received a message from Liangzhou, saying that Song Qiming, the governor of Liangzhou Town, will arrive in Tongtian Town in a few days and is going to the capital.

This news really shocked Zhao Laosi.

The Superintendent Station in Tongtian Town has always received only head-captors traveling from south to north, not even a few of the sixth-rank chief arresters, let alone You Xingzhangling.

Now he was suddenly told that an official from Sanpin Town was coming.

For a while, Zhao Laosi was also a little panicked, not knowing how to receive him, for fear of offending Mr. Song.

And just when he was flustered and at a loss, he saw a person walking into the post station, and that person had the badge of the town official hanging on his waist.

The news with Liangzhou is just a front and rear foot.

"Zhao Fu, the Postmaster of Tongtian Town, has met Mr. Song." Fourth Zhao couldn't care less about panic, and hurriedly bowed to the end.

"You don't need to be too polite. I'm just taking a break and I'm going to Beijing in a while. You just go about your errands and don't pay attention to me." Song Qiming waved his hand and sent Zhao Laosi away.

Hearing this, Zhao Lao Si hurriedly saluted again, then breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly backed away.

He didn't even want to be in the same room with Song Qiming, and carefully left the lobby of the inn.

But when Zhao Laosi came to his room, thinking in his heart that he hoped Song Qiming would leave soon, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

He was startled, thinking that Mr. Song had something to do, so he quickly opened the door.

But standing outside the door was a young young man with a face as white as jade.

Wearing the uniform of the General Yamen, with You Xingling hanging on his waist.

"I've met Mr. You Xing, dare to ask." Zhao Laosi was startled, and hurriedly saluted.

It's just that he was interrupted by the Youxing official just after he finished speaking.

"Go and tell Song Qiming that Beijing is in chaos, and the general government has no time to pay attention to Liangzhou's affairs, so let him go home." You Xingguan said coldly.

Zhao Laosi widened his eyes and pointed to his nose.

"I?"

You Xingguan ignored Zhao Laosi's reaction, and continued: "If he doesn't listen, you can say it's the order of the general government; if he still doesn't listen, order him to go to Beijing tomorrow, and he must stay overnight in Tongtian Town. "

After a pause, You Xingguan sneered and said, "It can't be done, your head has moved."

After finishing the words, the You Xingguan turned around and left.

Zhao Laosi was full of bitterness, watching the You Xingguan leave at the door of the room, feeling extremely uneasy.

After weighing up and down, he did not dare to disobey the general government's order after all.

With great apprehension, he cautiously came to the lobby of the inn.

Before he could speak, Song Qiming chuckled.

"You don't need to panic, the eunuch just said that I can hear what the eunuch said just now. If I don't make things difficult for you, just stay in this post for one night."

Zhao Laosi is like being amnesty.

"Thank you for your understanding."

"Go down."

"Yes."

In a blink of an eye, the night passed.

A little light can already be seen in the east, and it will be dawn in a while.

Zhao Laosi didn't sleep all night, only wishing that the great god in the lobby had left.

It's just that when he came to the inn lobby feeling uneasy, he saw Song Qiming still sitting where he had been yesterday, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Seeing this, Zhao Laosi immediately wanted to leave.

But just as he turned around, Song Qiming's voice sounded.

"Yi Cheng, is it dawn?"

"In the words of my lord, it's dawn."

"At dawn, it's time for me to take my leave."

"No rush, let's talk for a few more words."

The last sentence was not Yicheng's voice.

Song Qiming was startled and opened his eyes suddenly, only to see an extra figure appearing opposite him at some point.

The man looked a little thin, but his face was extremely handsome, with piercing eyes.

Seeing this person, Song Qiming's face showed a bit of bitterness. He opened his mouth to say something, but when the words reached his throat, he had to swallow them again.

After some hesitation, he finally got up first and bowed to the end.

"Qiming. I have seen the exhibition."

The person who came was Song Qiming's predecessor, the last governor of Liangzhou Township, and now the general yamen is enshrined in the Taoist realm, showing the wind.

Zhao Laosi didn't know when he had already quietly left.

Like this kind of little people, they understand the principle of being wise and safe, and never get involved with what should not be involved, and never inquire about what should not be inquired about.

In the lobby, only Zhan Chengfeng and Song Qiming were left sitting opposite each other.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and it was Zhan Chengfeng who spoke first.

"Qiming, go back, don't come to the capital, let alone get involved in this muddy water."

"This official never expected that it would be you, Senior Zhan, who will stop you." Song Qiming replied, "Although I knew that going to Beijing this time would not be that simple, but after all my thinking, I never expected that it would be You come."

After a pause, Song Qiming sighed softly: "If the lower officials insist on going to the capital to face the saint, how should the exhibition priest respond?"

Zhan Chengfeng was silent for a moment.

"There is always helplessness in the world. I only realized it after I became a Taoist. This supervisor is nothing more than a cage. I have already been deeply trapped in it, but you still have a chance."

Zhan Chengfeng tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Leave the token, the Central Plains is vast, you can fly as high as the sky, and come back when all the dust settles."

"The answer to the exhibition is irrelevant." Song Qiming shook his head and said, "Everything for the lower officials was given by the supervisor. Now I am lucky enough to steal the position of the town government official. In his position, I want to find something. There are more than a million people in Liangzhou In a state of exile, a demon king is still unscrupulous. This time, he chooses to be wise and protect himself, and it is difficult for him to be an official."

Bang.

A long sword was slapped on the table by Zhan Chengfeng.

He put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and stared at Song Qiming intently.

Song Qiming understood.

"This is Master Zhan's answer."

"Leave, now it's not a matter of Liangzhou, and you must not enter Beijing."

"No need to say much, Mr. Zhan will do it."

Hearing this, Zhan Chengfeng's eyes showed regret.

"Qiming, you don't understand"

bass!
It was the sound of a long sword being unsheathed.

Bang!
It was the closed door of the station that was pushed open brutally.

"I said, isn't Jiantiansi's post station a 24-hour camp? Isn't it never closed? The imperial court spends money to support you, just to give us hard-working messengers to come to ask for saliva and find a place to rest when we are tired. of."

"Yicheng! Where's Yicheng?"

A young man with gray hair and a long sword walked into the post.

While shouting wantonly and arrogantly, his eyes fell on the two people in the lobby.

His voice stopped suddenly, and he raised his eyebrows.

"Hey, Mr. Zhan, it's been a long time. Where did you get rich recently?"
